The unique electronic properties of periodically-arranged indium arsenide/gallium antimonide (InAs/GaSb) mesas in the type-II strained layer superlattices (SLS) make them a superior alternative to the conventional HgCdTe sensors for longwave infrared focal plane array (LWIR FPA) detectors. However, despite the highly promising quantum structures of SLS, its performance is currently limited by high ...

Military and civilian medical personnel across all echelons of medical care play a critical role in evaluating, caring for, and treating Warfighters. Despite advances in medical care technology, medical documentationcritical to effective coordinated and

Complex extremity injuries involving peripheral nerves are a significant issue for combat military personnel. Current clinical methods for repairing peripheral nerve injuries, including microsutures, autologous nerve autografts, and synthetic or autologous conduits, have limited success in fully restoring functional behaviors. Since these methods rely on the slow process of the axonal outgrowths f ...

Medical simulation has become increasing important tool for medical training in academic, hospital, and military settings. Despite the advancements in medical simulators, the major drawbacks include high costs, limited repeated use, and limited ability to customize parts. One approach that can address these issues is using self-healing materials as soft tissue parts in medical simulators that repa ...

USAMRMC seeks a sensor-enabled compression shirt for continuous ambulatory monitoring of service personnel via wearable sensors, which would allow for improved safety and sustained work capacity. Such a shirt must be comfortable and operable for 72-hour continuous wear, breathable, flame-retardant and avoid introducing thermal load. It must survive normal use including wear & tear (abrasion, stret ...

Rugged, comfortable and reliable physiological monitoring systems are required to allow military commanders and medical personnel to assess the basic health and readiness of the warfighter. Direct monitoring of the health and status of individual warfighters is defined as a key capability for the next generation of warfighter ensemble. Monitoring every warfighter is stated as a system performance ...

FTL Labs Corporations SPARO is a method for achieving an optimal alignment for lower limb prostheses using a patient-in-the-loop approach. The device will quantify and dynamically align the prosthesis in the sagittal, frontal, and transverse planes, and will be applicable to a wide variety of active and passive prostheses (including activity-specific prosthetic devices such as a running foot), whi ...

Triton is developing a device to be used in the temporary management of injury following ocular trauma. Triton is characterizing performance in vivo in Phase II.

Triton is developing a simulation-based system to provide psychomotor skills training to advanced health care providers in the performance of a Lateral Canthotomy and Cantholysis (LCC) procedure, a method of preserving eyesight. Our full prototype demonstrated in Phase I was designed iteratively following user feedback.

Junctional and inguinal bleedingfrom battlefield injuries is a significant and challenging problem. Inventors have developed new types of tourniquets, includingthe Abdominal AorticJunctional Tourniquet™ (AAJT), the Combat Ready Clamp™ (CRoC), the SAM Junctional Tourniquet (SJT), and theJunctional Emergency Treatment Tool (JETT) to address theseinjuries.Whilethese new tourniquets have been deve ...
